Question

Solve for x

`(4x - 6)/(4) = (2x + 5)/(3)`
​

Answer 1

x = 9.5

Explanation:

Given

`(4x-6)/(4)` =
`(2x+5)/(3)` ( cross- multiply )

3(4x - 6) = 4(2x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

12x - 18 = 8x + 20 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

4x - 18 = 20 ( add 18 to both sides )

4x = 38 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x =
`(38)/(4)` = 9.5
